Unit8 SA is a Swiss data and AI consulting firm founded in 2017 by Dr. Marcin Pietrzyk and Michal Rachtan, now operating across six offices in Switzerland, Poland, and Germany with over 150 experts. The firm has delivered more than 200 transformative projects, establishing itself as a significant player in bringing sophisticated data science and AI capabilities to traditional industries including pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and financial services.
The company operates across the entire data and AI lifecycle, from strategy and solution development through platform implementation to ongoing operations. This end-to-end approach distinguishes Unit8 in a consulting landscape often fragmented by specialisation. The firm's strategic partnerships with Palantir since 2020 and OpenAI underscore its technical depth and access to cutting-edge capabilities.
Unit8's recognition as one of Europe's fastest-growing companies by the Financial Times reflects both commercial momentum and market validation. The firm's focus on traditional, non-digital-native sectors addresses a genuine gap: established industries seeking world-class AI expertise without the constraints of purely software-native organisations.
